Nobody's moaned so I'll probably drop the breezy packages next time.

The debian packages have now been uploaded to the debian archive - they're
currently in the "NEW" queue:

http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=olly@survex.com

Assuming there are no problems and the packages are accepted, this means
that we no longer need to provide packages for Debian unstable (and that
packages will be available for all supported architectures in unstable).

I'll continue to provide backports for stable until the next Debian release
(and perhaps also after that if there's demand for newer Xapian versions
packaged for on stable).

Many thanks to Wookey for sponsoring the upload despite already being far
too busy.

Cheers,
    Olly
